Don't forget community notes. While not perfect, it presents valuable context or counter-points. Musk's posts have been community noted a few times.

Grok is a nice feature, although for paid accounts only. It also seems slightly out of place on X. Most people are there to express themselves, not necessarily seek help or information from AI-gen. I tried it for some coding help, and it did fine.. but doing that task on X felt odd.

Community notes was designed and shipped before the takeover. It was called "birdwatch".

Never heard of birdwatch, never saw it.

I'm in Australia, explanation follows:

From wikipedia: "In November 2022, at the request of new owner Elon Musk, Birdwatch was rebranded to Community Notes... and expanded to Europe and countries outside of the US."
